Jake's Steakhouse
Inside Jake's Steakhouse
Jake’s Steakhouse in East Meadow feels like a classic neighborhood spot where steakhouse tradition meets a comfortably polished dining room. Situated on Hempstead Turnpike, it’s a steady choice for anyone looking to settle into a warm, beige-toned interior with wood flooring and brass accents that add a subtle touch of refinement without feeling overly formal.
The layout favors cozy booths and tables that invite relaxed conversation, whether you’re on a date or gathering with a medium-sized group. The rear dining area handles larger parties well, although on busy weekend nights it can get lively and a bit cramped, which might not suit those in search of a quiet dinner.
The menu leans heavily into classic steakhouse fare with a seafood twist. Highlights like the Bang Bang Shrimp and Bacon Wrapped Scallops play well as starters, while mains such as the Pan Seared Salmon, Surf & Turf petite filet paired with lobster tail, and the Skirt Steak give a sense of hearty, satisfying meals with thoughtful sides like grilled asparagus or mashed potatoes. The bar menu adds an extra layer with cocktails like the Coconut Martini and creative drinks such as the Passion Fruit Margarita, which a frequent visitor noted stands out.
Jake’s is a practical choice for an evening where you want a dependable steak dining experience that’s approachable rather than flashy. It’s especially good for groups or families—there’s a kids’ menu that keeps things simple with burgers and chicken fingers, making it easier when you’re dining with children.
Service here tends to focus on attentiveness, with tables generally prepped and drink refills frequent, though some visitors have noticed slower pacing during especially busy times. Reservations are recommended since the place fills up, highlighting its ongoing popularity in the East Meadow area. Valet parking is available, which is a plus given the location along a busy stretch, though some guests have found arrival and seating timings a bit unpredictable during peak nights.
Overall, Jake’s Steakhouse suits those who want a familiar take on steak and seafood in a space that balances casual and traditional elements, making it a solid option for weeknight dinners, casual celebrations, or weekend gatherings where good food and relaxed surroundings are the main goals.
